American Civil Liberties Union

On behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), its over half a million members, fifty-three affiliates nationwide, and countless additional supporters and activists, we commend the Subcommittee on Elections for holding a hearing to explore the lessons learned from the 2008 election. We thank the Subcommittee for allowing us to submit this letter for the record documenting some of the problems citizens encountered during the 2008 election cycle.
